IL HB5212

Requires public bodies to provide written notice of prevailing wage requirements on purchase orders or separate documents when awarding work without a public bid, contract, or project specification.

If a public body fails to provide proper written notice, the Department of Labor must order the public body to pay any interest, penalties, or fines that would have been owed by the contractor, though this does not relieve contractors of their prevailing wage obligations.

Requires contractors to provide written statements to subcontractors indicating prevailing wage requirements when awarding work without a formal contract or specification.

If a contractor fails to provide proper written notice to a subcontractor, the Department of Labor must order the contractor to pay any interest, penalties, or fines that would have been owed by the subcontractor.

Modifies notification requirements for revised prevailing wage rates by allowing public bodies to satisfy this duty through a written stipulation stating that rates are revised by the Department of Labor and available on the Department's website.
